Discover the ancient charm of Termez Ancient Silk Road Springs, situated on the historic Silk Road. Founded by Alexander the Great in 327 BC, this city boasts some of the oldest and most pristine thermal springs in Central Asia. Soak in the bicarbonate-rich waters, part of a long thermal tradition, and immerse yourself in the rich history and culture of Uzbekistan.
Insider tip — Termez is one of the oldest cities in Central Asia, perched on the Amu Darya river at the Uzbek-Afghan border, and its thermal springs have served Silk Road travelers for millennia. The mineral waters emerge at a comfortable 38°C in a semi-arid landscape dotted with Buddhist archaeological sites and ancient mausoleums. Soaking here in the cool of the evening, with the great river visible in the distance, gives a vivid sense of the trade routes that once passed through. The thermal facilities are basic but the historical atmosphere is unmatched.
